Table saw operating procedure warnings
1. Turn off the table saw and disconnect the power
cord when removing the table insert, changing
the saw blade or making adjustments to the
riving knife, anti-kickback pawls or saw blade
guard, and when the machine is left unattended.
Precautionary measures will avoid accidents.
2. Never leave the table saw running unattended.
Turn it off and don't leave the tool until it
comes to a complete stop. An unattended run-
ning saw is an uncontrolled hazard.
3. Locate the table saw in a well-lit and level area
where you can maintain good footing and
balance. It should be installed in an area that
provides enough room to easily handle the
size of your workpiece. &UDPSHG GDUN DUHDV
